"After School"

I've been inspired lately by so many fine Quebec artists it is hard to remember them all. I do spend far too much time on the internet though scouring art galleries and artists web sites. I find it encouraging as well as inspiring seeing what everyone is up to. Recently i've toured England
(via the computer of course) and the wonderful art work one can find there. It is all just so lovely.
This piece was a departure for me in a way. I wanted it to be less labor intensive than the others i do and somehow a little looser. So this is as loose as i could get. Hopefully i can loosen up even more as this was just such a delight to pull off. I'm trying to be braver with my shadows and find they really do make a painting come to life.
Happy day to all!

Ross . . .thanks for coming by my blog today . . . . .I am admiring the playful and delightful mood of your paintings. It is one thing to paint pictures while it is quite another to be able to consistently put forth a mood which causes a viewer to feel emotion. You have a keen eye for design! Keep up the good work.

About Me

I am fortunate to have a permanent studio space in an art gallery where i can spend time at my life long dream of being an artist. I am motivated mostly by strong patterns and value conrast. I love to play with color and explore the relationships they have. I pray to honor God with my paintings and hope you enjoy your visit. My email address is: rosslynem@gmail.com

The Pauloman!

This is the Pauloman who is no longer with us. He lost a tough battle on Feb.17, 2013. We loved this little guy so much and miss him dearly. He was such a character and enjoyed sitting on the couch with us watching a movie and sharing our treats. An amazing dog he was and a more loyal fellow you would be hard pressed to find.

My Bella.

This is our other boxer, Bella. She is a sweet girl who is also very intuitive. If someone is sick she knows and will try to care for them. She is also afraid of snowmen, hot air balloons and road construction beacons. She loves to cuddle and can sing her heart out when she hears Willie Nelson or any harmonica music. She makes our lives richer and we love her to pieces.

"Jiminy"

Jiminy was a rescue dog who came to us terribly underweight and malnourished. He is now a handsome and energetic little clown who makes us laugh all day long. In a very short time he has stolen our hearts.
